"I just think there's a lot more kids that get ruined coming out early or going to school trying to be developed to come out early than actually make it.”
-- Mark Cuban
If a person can get a high paying job in accounting in their third year in college, wouldn't anyone here think that person should take that position and finish their education later?
It's all about raising the level of college play. them. People should have the right to get paid while they are healthy. ing nanny at udes.
Easy as for a billionaire to say a poor kid should tough it out to increase his viewing pleasure and help him get better talent so he makes more money.
And John C.
There would be no LBJ if this happened 8 years ago. No way his dumbass makes it through 3 years of college.
...and I agree with Pubes here. Too many kids come in on hype because they can dunk only to fizzle in the NBA. LeHype is one of the rare exceptions.
The NFL does it and has done it for years. Look at their product. NFL >>>>>> NBA and it ain't even close tbh.
How many of these kids could finish college on a degree program that actually pays a wage that would sustain any semblance of a decent lifestyle vs RTF and other bull degrees?
One year in the pros, even as a low level earner, would pay for your college many times over. Get a 3 year deal and you can retire if you're frugal enough. That's how ing great it is to be in the NBA vs "that guy could have made it in his freshman year, but he blew his knees out the following year and now he drives a UPS truck".
So? , let me fizzle for a few hundred K vs the sandwich shop job while studying for my degree in psychology.There would be no LBJ if this happened 8 years ago. No way his dumbass makes it through 3 years of college.

Which means he's saying the kids, I want proven employees so make it mandatory. I understand the business decision, but every team still has the right to not sign these guys. Why take away their right to apply?
I think it's the NCAA in bed with the NBA trying to generate the most revenue.
Do you think the rapist would have done any better in college?There would be no LBJ if this happened 8 years ago. No way his dumbass makes it through 3 years of college.

I'm sure all these kids were bound to have promising careers as doctors, engineers and investment bankers. Once they bomb out at 21 years old they'll never be able to reach all that potential they had outside of basketball. Oh wait, they can still go back to school. Oh wait, a lot of these kids aren't the cream of the intellectual crop.
The smart and dedicated players will go on and do just fine no matter what happens with their basketball careers. The others never had a chance outside of basketball anyway.
Let them leave school whenever they want.
And if you consider that the NBA would still have these guys only later down the road and with more hype surrounding them, you can see that it would be a great business move for both organizations, only the NCAA should be more concerned with job placement for their students than indentured servitude by them.
Wrong. Think about it. When all these "diaper dandies" start flooding the NBA, the overall product began to suck major ass. Case in point, in the '80s, the only prep to pros player (that I recall) was Moses Malone - who legitimatley should have been there tbh. Everybody else got a college education. The '80s era saved basketball (with Showtime as the headliner). Compe ion and quality teams were way better than it is right now.
That's why I give MJ no props. He got sent to the tree of woe on many occasions until the true great teams got old (Pisstons, Celtics, Lakers) and the league got watered down with these expansion teams coming in with these SportsCenter highlight worthy kids. Before that, he didn't win and liked it.
NBA should retract the cellar perrennial cellar dwellers (except for 8) and raise the age limit. It's good for the future of the NBA.
Yes. He cut the requisite SAT scores to play for Coach K. He would have ed up no doubt.
Even though almost all of that was pure bull , you're addressing the NBA's interest and each franchise has the right to not sign a player.Wrong. Think about it.

You haven't illustrated why a player should not be allowed to apply, and the contraction issue is for another thread.
Kobe is a lot of things. Stupid isn't one of them.
ed up is slang for he would have kicked ass. Point taken though...
As fresh as the Ellis girl visiting the last two days.
Good business strategy.
Please. They got some in' nerve telling these kids what to do whatsoever. How the it's never gotten into the courts is beyond me.
Nobody, but, nobody should ever give away their talent. Ever.
If the NBA were really out for its own bottom line, they should give the middle finger to the NCAA: raise D-League salaries drastically to siphon off the best talent, get more of those teams in big markets and on TV (with the season during the NBA's offseason) and require players to be 2 or 3 years out of high school to make the NBA.
But, they'd have to first get out of that cozy bed there in with the NCAA.
college just like a theme park imho, u payin for it and you aint gettin no reward from it
just a waste of time & money tbh
There is nothin' like strange wool.
With that 3 year plan, Kobe wouldnt have airballed the Lakers out of the playoffs in 97 vs Utah
They should have the option to go to the NBA straight out of high school, the change should be that all the ones who chose college have to stay for 3 years. I think people who try to act like the life of a college athlete is some hardship they shouldn't have to go through are dumb, but making a kid go to college for a year when he has no interest in being a student is dumb and it's a stupid waste of a scholarship that could be used on someone who actually wants to utilize the education. The current 1 year rule isn't working though. It's cost players like Andre Drummond and DeAndre Jordan millions.
& he wouldn't be hunting Jabbar and Jordan in the bargain.
